May CELTIC EUROPE National Geographic Map Poster School
The
ancient Celtics, founders of Europe. The Celts are believed to have
originated near the Carpathian Mountains in the 3
rd
century BC, and migrated west and north around 800 BC when they
developed iron-working skills to improve their tools and weapons.
They rarely used written language, so knowledge about their lives has
been primarily gleaned from architectural finds and legends written
down by a few Irish monks. The map-side of this study contains a
classic National Geographic political map of Celtic Europe, from the
Scandinavian countries to the Mediterranean Sea. The reverse-side
contains a map of the same area on which are pinpointed and noted
Celtic sites that have been identified, as well as facts about the
role of women, the Greek influence, the eastward expansion, religion,
warfare, Gaul, the Christian Celts, and a depiction of a boar hunt.
There are also map insets showing the spread of the Celts across
Europe from 800 BC to 1200 AD.
